Spurs fans pretend Asian fan in Son shirt is Son

[Bus-Conductor]

Strange, all the black players we've had down the years, Defoe, King, Davids, Bent etc never seen or heard of an incident like this.

I mean it is a fucked up world because people get treated inferior or superior just because of their colour and their ethnicity and stereotypes are still very much in exsistance.

So in that enviroment I don't find it wrong or surprising that these things are questioned and indeed I prefer it to be questioned rather than people thinking that racism is just something which must be blatant and belongs to the extreme right.

I guess the fact that black players and black people are the norm in football and make up a huge percentage of our society there isn't that rarity of the situation we saw Saturday with Son scoring and then seeing the korean guy looking like Son with Don on his back.

Yes, racism is fucked up, but so is even beginning to think that an incident like this had the slightest racist connotation.

I actually thought it was one of those rare nice spontaneous human moments which transcended language and culture, just a couple of fans celebrating and making the Korean dude feel loved for his (albeit rather random and coincidental) association with "Son" the days hero.

Probably make things worse but here goes.

What do you call a chelsea fan in a suit?

Spoiler

The accused

Are you implying all Chelsea fans are criminals?

That's a very broad brush and quite offensive. I am offended. I know Chelsea fans that are completely straight and have never committed a crime.

Please apologise.

Less random if you saw the amount of Koreans flooding out of the ground. There was a massive Son presence in the ground this weekend!

Surely you are still allowed a bit of stereotype based humour nowadays. Must be tough being a comedian nowadays.

BAE double used to go to the bricklayers. Vdv's also is a regular on match days.

I had Vertonghen chants aimed at myself for the umptieth time on Sunday.

As I'm not English, surely that must constitute as racism?

I'm offended that you're so easily offended...

 

[Mustard]

I apologise.

Now please apologise to me. You have hurt my feelings by making me feel sad that I have offended you.

 

[AW?]

I apologise.

Now please apologise to me. You have hurt my feelings by making me feel sad that I have offended you.

I'm sorry you've had to apologise and hope you don't take offence to the fact you offended me.

Or something

Fucking happy supporters with their "playful joke". Tbh they should have just all walked out of the stadium in single file, observing the Green Cross Code at ALL times and returned to their dwellings ahead of their curfew.

Yes! That's how things should be. No spontaneous displays of happiness or joy. Behave more like this please

Line up for those trolley buses, and be quiet and polite while you're doing it.

This thread was started on Monday, I've had the last 2 days off sick from work.

Being offended does cause illness people, be warned.

Before the league cup game against Hull last season (the one that went to penalties) I was in pub (Bricklayers) and there was a guy with hair like Jimmy Saville did in the 70s

Of course a large group of drunken fans started a chant to him "Saville give us a wave", cheered when he did and then for about 10 mins sang "Jimmy Saville is a yido"

To be honest I don't see a lot of difference in that playful banter amoungst fans on a match day than what happened in the video with the fan with SON on his shirt.

Well the only difference is political correctness in overdrive

I personally have no doubt the guy in question was not at all offended, nor I doubt were any of his friends and family he told about the incident. It's normally always over the top white people with white guilt who over react to every and anything with any racial/cultural implication and label it racist

This was clearly not racist in my humble opinion

We can only hope that Saville & Son never meet ..

I like what you did there


But I think Lamela has more to fear (preteen girl looks after all)

The ghost of Saville stalking Eric in a disused stadium after a game will keep me up tonight.









Not in that way you sick fu*kers!

What if it was reverse and happening somewhere in Asia (a white guy being "used" a a white player in a local team), would people then scream racism?

 

[guate]

Thank heaven I live in Guatemala where political correctness hasn't reared its ugly head and people can still make jokes about other nations or religions.
What I captured from the video was some good old fashioned fun between a couple of Brits and a Korean with no negative intent or racism whatsoever.
